A one-page job application filled out by Steve Jobs more than four decades ago that reflected the Apple founder’s technology aspirations sold for $174,000 at a U.S. auction, more than three times its presale estimate.

四十多年前,苹果公司创始人乔布斯填写了一份求职简历,简历中透露了他对科技的向往。如今,这份简历在美国的一家拍卖行被拍出17万4千美元的价格,比此前预计价格的三倍还高。

An Internet entrepreneur from England was the winning bidder, Boston-based auction house RR Auction said on Friday, but the buyer wished to remain anonymous.

一位英国籍的互联网企业家是这场竞标的赢家,在波士顿的RR拍卖行在周五表示,购买者希望能够匿名购买。

The application dated 1973, complete with spelling and punctuation errors, had been expected to fetch about $50,000.

这份1973年的简历充斥着各种拼写和标点符号的错误,曾被期待能够拍到5万美元。

The sale price reached on Thursday was $174,757, the auction house said.

拍卖行的人说,拍卖的价格在周四达到了174757美元。

The form lists his name as "Steven jobs" and address as "reed college," the Portland, Oregon, college he attended briefly. Next to "Phone:" he wrote "none."

表格上写着他的名字叫“史蒂文.乔布斯”,地址是“里德学院”,俄勒冈州波特兰,他曾短暂就读过一所学院。在“电话”旁边,他写了“没有”。

Under a section titled “Special Abilities,” Jobs wrote “tech or design engineer. digital.—f rom Bay near Hewitt-Packard,” a reference to pioneering California technology company Hewlett-Packard and the San Francisco Bay area.

在“技能亮点”这一栏中,乔布斯写着“科技与设计工程师,惠普旁的数字硬盘海湾”,这里引用了加利福尼亚科技公司先驱惠普以及旧金山湾。

The document does not state what position or company the application was intended for. Jobs and friend Steve Wozniak founded Apple about three years later.

该简历没有说明想要申请什么职位或公司。三年后,乔布斯和朋友Steve创立了苹果公司。

RR Auction said the high price reflected the continuing influence of Jobs, who died of cancer in 2011 at the age of 56.

RR拍卖会表示,拍卖的高价格反映了乔布斯对人们的影响仍持续着。乔布斯先生于2011年因癌症去世,享年56岁。

There are many collectors who have earned disposable income over the last few decades using Apple technology, and we expect similarly strong results on related material in the future,

有很多收藏家在过去的十多年里通过苹果的科技赚得盆满钵满,我们期待在未来在相关的产品上也能有类似的结果。
